Just completed the Italeri Panther Ausf A (Kit #290)... this kit has an option for an open engine comparment to show of f the fairly nice (for plastic!) engine provided.

I elected to show the secondary access panel opened about 45 degrees, but now want to add a figure to be kneeling (or standing) with one arm opening this panel and looking at the engine I know I can re-position a figure, but wanted to first see if anyone had a recommendation for a ready figure i might use... plastic or resin is fine.

Certainly be willing to trade... i cast tons of my own diorama accessories in plaster and resin... or I have just over 100 plasitc model figures left over from various kits that I haven't used... (including a lot of modern US and WWII US figures). I mainly use them for arms, gear, weapons, heads, etc, but would gladly trade 10 figures for the right "kneeling" German.... lemme know if you are interested!

I have this set if you are interested:

Tamiya makes a set of 2 figures working on an engine don't they....i know one is kneeling...might just have to re work his arm to have him holding the hatch.
